Matthew O’Reilly, SCA Head of Broadcast Content, said:
“Pilot Week has already been a huge success, offering a unique opportunity to discover fresh talent, with an incredible array of talent putting their hand up for a Triple M first. We were impressed by the diversity of applications, from everyday Aussies to internet favourites and experienced broadcasters, all with unique stories and ideas.
While we initially intended to select five breakfast shows, the quality of the submissions was simply too strong to pass up the opportunity to showcase another great show. We’re excited for listeners to hear six very different Breakfast shows next week, each bringing their own personality, chemistry, and style, to Triple M.”
The six Pilot Week shows will air nationally across Triple M’s metro markets from 6am to 8am from Monday December 15 and will be also be available to stream on LiSTNR.
